A linear design makes a space more productive, organized, and inviting. The task was a bit overwhelming: Design and create an edible garden that was productive enough to supply produce for a restaurant, make sure it looked beautiful most of the year,and make it exciting and engaging—not only for gardeners like me but also for someone who has never held a pair of primers. Oh, and did I mention that all of this had to happen on a city rooftop? This was the challenge presented by the Vancouver Club, aprivate social club in the heart of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. The opportunity provided me with a platform forsomething I had never tried before—to create a new kind of vegetable garden, one that had an attractive modern aesthetic and was superproductive. So, designer David Hepworth, builders from Conex Construction, general manager of the club Philip Ireland, and I got together and decided the best way to accomplish that goal was with a gridlike layout that would keep things organized andinviting at the same time.
